DUBLIN, May 1I.-At meeting last night
Of the Irish National League. Mr.. Diilou
said that he had clearly in his mind u line
OF policy for the people of Ireland which he
would produce at the proper moment, and
knock the bottom out Of the Coercion bill.
When the Coercion bill was passed tho
landlords would find that the plan of cam
palRu would continue without the slightest
interruption or Inconvenience. His pro-
posed policy would involve neither crime
nor violent resistance OF the law, but was a
system Of combinations so perfect, and the
people would be induced to act so loyalty
towards one another that they would not
revert to crime and outrage.
